復(fù)雜的定語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例12

例12　In modern fast-consuming-product companies, tremendous use is made of statistics to measure the dynamic difference in markets resulting from the mass allocations of advertisements which constitute such a large part of their production costs before selling that they regard production costs as production plus advertising costs.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】介詞短語(yǔ)In modern fast-consuming-product companies做狀語(yǔ)，主干是tremendous use is made of statistics，后面加上不定式to measure the dynamic difference in markets作目的狀語(yǔ)，修飾前面的句子，后面加上分詞定語(yǔ)resulting from the mass allocations of advertisements，后面加上定語(yǔ)從句which constitute such a large part of their production costs that they regard production costs as production plus advertising costs，該定語(yǔ)從句有固定搭配such...that...。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于不定式后面套上分詞定語(yǔ)，后面套上定語(yǔ)從句，而且定語(yǔ)從句里面套上such...that...，句子多達(dá)48個(gè)單詞，很有氣勢(shì)。
